mmmmmm, bagel with strawberry preserves!!!

Boy there is nothing better than a bagel in the morning with strawberry preserves on one half and peanut butter on the other. Pair that with a Stumptown latte and you have breakfast!

On the Josie report, we got a new lead for her. It's called a Halti. It has saved our walks from becoming a pain in the neck chore to something we really enjoy!! She was a tugger, she'd pull so hard on her leash that with her regular collar she'd nearly choke herself. Our arms also got very tired too. So, Naomi suggested we try a Halti. It's like walking a different dog!!! If she starts to walk too fast her head gets pulled around so she is facing us essentially. The lead, as the picture showed, goes over her nose and behind her ears. The lead hooks under her chin, which is a nicer place to pull on. I can't wait to get out there with her for a nice long walk!!! Kev did take her out yesterday and said she was a dream. She also got to play with some neighborhood dogs! It's interesting to see her with other dogs. She generally is quite cautious in the beginning, hackles raised, barking ensues, but after sniffing she settles down (unless the other dogs come too close to Kevin or I and then she starts barking again). However, she doesn't do this with Huskies. We're thinking she had been exposed to them before? She's a nut.

Well, as I have said in the past, my latte is getting cold and that is not a good thing. Since I can't type efficiently with one hand I bid you all adieu!!
